Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2014
This is a phenomenal history of the Vikings, following their movements across northern and western Europe in the eighth to eleventh centuries, their penetration of Russia from the north to Constantinople, and their migration across the North Atlantic past Ireland to the Shetlands, Iceland, Greenland, and Canada. If you aren’t interested in Vikings, well…. But if you are even a wee bit curious about all the pillaging of Lindisfarne, the colonization of Normandy, and the occupation of England, this is the book for you. - See more at: http://jwlbooks.com/uncategorized/on-the-nightstand-the-autumn-equinox/#sthash.p3tKkAqL.IxdWqsPr.dpuf

Good read, very informative. The chronological of events are a little scattered. It was interesting narrative of the Viking and took much of the pre conceived view one had about their history and life style.

3.0 out of 5 stars I feel as confused as a Lindisfarne monk greeting a friendly Scandinavian trader who turned out not to be selling his axe
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2017
Well written and packed with interesting anecdotes, but I didn't like the organisation. I would have preferred the story in chronological order, instead it jumps about telling the reader about events late in the history of the conquest of England then jumping back a hundred years to begin the story of the Vikings in France, then jumping back again to tell us about Scotland, Ireland and then (to my mind) rather strangely returning to the origins of the Vikings in their Scandinavian homeland before jetting off again to Russia.

This would be confusing if these were all independent story lines but the same characters appear in different contexts over and over again and given that there are many Haralds, Ivars and Sveins it really takes a herculean effort to separate them all out.

5.0 out of 5 stars I may be biased as a Viking geek
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 29, 2014

I'm a bit of a Viking geek. I did my Archaeology degree dissertation on them and managed to incorporate them in to my Masters, which was strictly only meant to be Medieval.

However, despite having a lot of existing knowledge about the Viking world, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was an excellent companion to the exhibition at the British Museum, but equally would be an interesting read if you didn't get to attend the exhibition.

For anyone with an interest in Viking history, this is a worthwhile read.

4.0 out of 5 stars The mists around the Northmen helpfully parted.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 1, 2015
Verified Purchase
I am no expert on this aspect of history, but it is an absorbing one. Philip Parker is very readable and very straightforward about the reliability, or otherwise, of such sources as there are, both archaeological and sage material. The maps are clear, informative and helpful in clarifying the extent of this wide-ranging survey. There is, especially in the contemporary accounts, much scope for sensationalism: this is properly avoided, providing an account which, while by no means dull, gives an impression of solid scholarship and reliability. All in all, a book much to be recommended for the general reader.

Philip Parker writes in a really engaging way and makes the history of the Vikings and the people he describes come to life. The book is full of interesting information, and funny anecdotes about the Vikings and I didn't get bored reading it (as has been known to happen when reading history books). I really recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about the history of the Vikings and maybe even learn something they didn't already know.
